Normal service resumes I guess.. a couple of lessons have been learnt though. To me this is a career defining series for a couple of guys. Pj for me is really struggling. All he had to do was see off their best bowler today who only had one more delivery left. That's shows a lack of game intelligence. His list A record is poor and it's showing at international level.. no competition has also not helped him. I think Mutumbami actually has a better record than him after the same number of games. He wouldn't get in the team as a batsman alone right now. I have already spoken about Burl. Tiripano is another guy for me who despite all the effort he puts in is just not good enough in his main role as a bowler.. especially considering we are only playing 3 bowlers.

One positive thing to note today is that Waller really is playing his best cricket at the moment. He did get out in a silly way but he is scoring runs effortlessly and it is a bit of a waste playing him with the tail enders.. it just puts unnecessary pressure on him.. on Friday he partnered really well with Raza when he came in at 6. I think that's his ideal position. If only he could become a full time keeper and we solve a major headache. He should work on it. PJ wasn't the best keeper when he started but he has worked on it and really improved.
